A 2512 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies that first aid, ambulance or rescue squads, as entities, have immunity from civil damages in certain circumstances.

This bill (A2512) clarifies that all first aid, ambulance, and rescue squads - whether volunteer or non-volunteer - have legal immunity from civil lawsuits when providing services in good faith. It removes a current limitation that only granted immunity to non-volunteer squads for advanced life support services, extending it to all services they provide. The immunity applies to the squad as an organization, not just individual members. This does not cover motor vehicle operations or incidents involving negligence.
